It was time. It has been one hundred years since the Goddess of Felina sealed Evil away in the earth’s core. The leader of the darkness nation stared at the starry skies for the last time before Evil appeared once more. The ground rumbled violently forcing trees to collapse onto dens. Cats screamed as they tried to evacuate their kits away. Everybody was fleeing desperately. 

Except for one cat that stood still on the highest rock. ‘LEADER! WE MUST EVACUATE NOW! OTHERWISE WE WILL WILL-,’ cried Yellowfang.

‘Hush, there is no need. This is my land. This is the place where I was born and the place where I will die,’ said the leader of the darkness nation calmly.

‘Is that so? Then I will be with you to the death.’ Yellowfang said fiercely.

‘No, don’t stay, I am already old and can no longer lead this Nation anymore. As your leader I pass this honour to you. Spread the word to all the Nations and then carve your name into the crystallised ancient tree where you will be given your name and your nine lives.’

Yellowfang stared at him bewildered and he said, ‘How can I take your spot? I am just the Vice Leader.’

‘No, you’re not just any Vice leader. You are our Vice leader, or shall I say leader. Please tell this young warrior that she will be the next one in line of the goddess of Felina. Only she can stop evil but she can’t do it alone. Tell her to form a group of six with her as leader and her name is Moonmist. Now go…’

Yellowfang stared at his leader’s peaceful face for one more time and was off to find the other Darkness nation cats. The leader smiled as a tree collapsed violently onto him, cracking his skull and forcing him to collapse lifelessly onto the rock.

Yellowfang stayed close to the Nation as he tried his best to find a suitable spot to build a new Nation. As he was doing this he was thinking of what his leader said to him which led him to the spot where his leader died. Yellowfang stared at the dead body and tears rolled down his eyes as he walked towards his respected leader. Yellowfang laid down and started to groom the wise cat for the last before his leader moved on, to the afterlife. While Yellowfang was grooming the lifeless cat, a small ginger and red cat with silver moon eyes sat next to him. Yellowfang stared at her blankly before saying, ‘Our leader was a noble cat. He stayed here until the very end and now he passed his title to me. I don’t think I can accept this powerful title. What do you think?’

‘I don’t know. Our leader was truly the best. I think you should accept it. After all, he put all his faith into you making you the vice and now leader. However, it is not my choice to make. It is yours,’ replied the young warrior cat.

‘You are wise. May I ask for your name?’ asked Yellowfang.

Moon. Moonmist

Yellowfang froze and thought, could she be the one to stop evil? She is so young and…

‘And what?’ questioned Moonmist.

‘You can read my mind?’ asked Yellowfang.

‘Yeah, a horrible curse if you ask me,’ sighed Moonmist.

‘No, no, no, it is not a horrible curse. It is a sign to show you are the chosen to defeat Evil.’ Yellowfang gasped.

‘You mean that Dark dragon guarding the castle?’ Moonmist said curiously. 

‘Yes,’ Yellowfang replied.

‘But, wait, are you saying – what – I CAN’T DEFEAT THAT ON MY OWN. I WILL SURELY DIE!’ yelped Moonmist.

‘That is why you are going to form a team of six with you as their leader. Now we don’t have much time left before evil comes and destroys everything,’ Yellowfang explained.

‘What about you? Or our leader?’ 

‘Our leader is no longer with us. You are a very sweet and selfless cat, caring for others.’ Moonmist stared at him and her face twitched into a smile, before she scurried off to camp. ‘You’re right, she is the chosen one. I can see that she has a pure and golden heart,’ Yellowfang sighed as he stared into his leader’s dead and motionless eyes.

Moonmist sprinted towards camp.

There is no time to waste, thought Moonmist. Just then, she bumped into Tuliptail who was still sobbing at the loss of her mother. 

‘Oh! uh, umm, sorry, bye,’ said Moonmist quickly. 

This just made Tuliptail sob even harder. Moonmist stared at her not knowing what to do so she just ran off trying to not think of her. Suddenly Robbinclaw stopped her.

‘What is it? I NEED TO GO!’ yelled Moonmist, annoyed.

‘I can’t let you pass. Beyond this border is the fire nation. They will be very angry if I let you pass,’ Robbinclaw replied.

‘IT DOESN’T MATTER! I GOT ORDERS FROM OUR FUTURE LEADER TO ASSEMBLE A TEAM OF SIX AND ONE OF THEM IS FROM THE FIRE NATION! I KNOW I’M SCREAMING JUST LET ME PASS!’

Robinclaw thought for a while and stared at Moonmist’s irritated face and finally he said, ‘You may pass. Just don’t let them know it is me.’  

‘Thank you.’After thanking Robinclaw, she stepped onto the border and ventured out into the Fire nation, an environment she had been forbidden to step in.
